To be fair, when DOOM came out in 1993 I didn't really notice - I was more a pinball/coin-op/Amiga/SNES guy at that time, and DOS games weren't really my thing.
I didn't get my first taste of DOOM until some time in the summer of 94-95. |

I was too young for Doom really. Not too young for the actual game, I just didn't have access to a PC at the time, it was an unreachable wonder in the computer shop.

How about the first time you played a multiplayer game with a whopping THREE OTHER PEOPLE!

SLIP on a shiny new Compaq laptop with trackball mounted on the screen. Might have been DOOM2 though... LTE Elite 486??

Still remember running up and down the hill from Menace's house with Doom pkzip'd across ~16 disks. Every time I'd get back one would be corrupt.
Finished reading Masters of Doom by David Kushner a few weeks ago, really enjoyed it. |

Doom convinced me to stop being a tight bastard and buy a decent soundcard, thus the new release/hardware upgrade cycle began...

Doom was a massive leap forward for gaming when it was released. The graphics were amazing and the whole concept of sharing a 3D space with other players was still a novelty. I had to read a fucking manual on networking and become familiar with scripting and various protocols (things I otherwise had zero interest in) just to get the dial-up working - that's motivation.

Loading cdrom.sys and then mscdex.exe

HENCE WHY FOREVER ALONE

The game I never got to play due to poverty/hardware requirements was "Under a Killing Moon".
I just found it online for $4.99USD through gog.com. It's a 1.4 GB download, and it's 20 years old! Try spanning that bastard onto floppies with ARJ/ZIP...

7th Guest was the big game for me - spanning 2 CDs. I think at one stage I sold my car to by my girlfriend a 21st present, oh, and an AWE64 for me. Up until then audio had been a novelty factor based on a bodged up parallel port and some resisters so I could play Amiga MOD files. |

RAR was revolutionary, you could transfer games across 2 pcs with just 2 disks!
No more of pkzips 'insert last disk first' Then there was serial + interlink.exe + go do something else for a couple hours... I'm pretty sure I used to play dial up descent with TnT Last edited by _indigo1 : 15th December 2013 at 22:57. |
